<p>Dear Tritium collaborators,</p>
<p>We had a very successful run in Spring 2018 and collected
beautiful data for two and half experiments. Our Tritium
collaboration members, in particular our hard-working graduate
students, had done wonderful jobs to make sure everything runs
smoothly. We had lots of "good" time together in the counting, and
lots of great moments will be remembered for a long time. Many of
us are currently busily working on the data analysis of the new
data, and some of students even start thinking about graduation.
It is a very excited moment and I understand that you are all very
busy.</p>
<p>HOWEVER, our Tritium-run is not done yet! We still have two
Tritium experiments to go in the next two months! The first
experiment is the SRC which is the thesis experiment of Shujie and
Nathaly. Both of them have been working very hard since the
beginning of the Tritium-run, and now finally they can collect
their own data so they can also focus on their data analysis and
also image about graduation. Just like they have been greatly
supporting the data taking of the previous run, now they also need
your supports, as teammates and more! <br>
</p>
<p>We have 12+ smart graduate students plus postdocs who have been
working on the Tritium run group for many years together, and help
each other to take care of all subsystems since last November. All
of our graduate students are experts on dedicated subsystems and
we really need your expertise to make sure we can have another
successful run, our last Tritium run! We have new members joining
us from the Hypernuclear experiment but the manpower is still very
limited. Compared with the Spring run, we only have very small
amount of people seating in the daily run meeting or working in
the Hall. That is a little bit sad ...</p>
<p>We are not only need lots of shift-workers to fill in so many
empty spots, but also need more student experts to continue
maintaining subsystems, monitoring the data taking and finish some
commissioning tasks. All subsystems are running great w/o major
issues so far and you won't spend too much time away from your
analysis to help us monitor the data. <br>
</p>
<p>Some of you have already sign up shifts which is highly
appreciated. However, I am sincerely asking you to help us more
and also requesting more Tritium-collaborators to help us. I
personally very appreciate that Evan and Florian are continuously
taking much more responsibilities than they should and leading
students to prepare the runs, nearly 24 hours per day! You guys
are great!<br>
</p>
<p>We just stock lots of good food and snacks on the table in the
counting house (see Fig.1). The fancy coffee machine is still
running and a whole new bag of Starbucks coffee beam is in
position. We just need our team members to come back and help us
to finish the Fall 2018 run. Highly appreciate your continuously
contribution! <br>
